Brand power has invisibly become a key factor for consumers to consider when buying a car. When with a budget of about 200,000, some people will resolutely choose "chicken head", such as joint venture models B-class cars, etc.; while others will choose "phoenix tails", such as entry-level BBA. The choice of the latter obviously depends to a certain extent on its excellent brand power, such people have higher pursuits and will yearn for a more advanced life experience. BMW 1 Series as BMW's entry-level model, BMW dropped from 199,000 to 140,000, and finally became a masterpiece after three generations
The overall shape of the new 1 Series is not much different from the old model, but in the details, the Obsidian version adds many blackening elements to the M Sport edition for decoration. Makes the overall look sharper and the sense of movement is outstanding.
Although the interior of the new Series 1 still continues the shape of the old model, it also has ulterior motives in color matching. The use of red and black contrast design to reflect its youthful sports atmosphere, bringing a good sense of visual impact. At the same time, the center console panel uses soft materials + gloss black trim panels, which also helps to create a sense of luxury.
The size of the central control screen is 10.25 inches, the reaction speed is faster, and the classic "chicken leg" electronic barrier feels good. Support reversing image, voice recognition control and other functions, mobile phone Interconnection supports Apple CarPlay and Baidu CarLife, which is more convenient for daily use. It should be noted that the rear row is not equipped with a handrail box and air outlet, which is somewhat inconvenient.
As a sedan, the BMW 1 Series is only 4462/1803/1446mm in length, width and height, and has a wheelbase of 2670mm, making it arguably the smallest BMW model on sale other than the MINI. There are pros and cons to such a design, most models at the same price point are B-class cars, and the size space is far more than it, but small and beautiful is also a recent fashion trend, and lightweight and flexible cars have also recently become popular. In addition, the visual effect on the side is still good, mainly thanks to the 17-inch sports rim.
2021 BMW 1 Series Modified 120i M Sport Edition is equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 103kW (140Ps)/4600-6500rpm, a maximum torque of 220N·m/1480-4200rpm, and a drivetrain mated to a 7-stop wet-double-clutch transmission.
This three-cylinder engine has a slight jitter at low speed, but within the acceptable range, when the speed rises, there is no impact, the mid-rear power output is direct, the throttle response is fast, and it is easy to drive. After switching to Sport mode, the driving experience is much happier. Overall, this power combination meets the stress-free daily travel, but is not very suitable for violent driving.
